August 15, 2005 – Like many organizations on campus, LSCR allowed its web pages to get stale over the last few years. Starting in 2004, we undertook a large project to improve the design, modernize the implementation, and update the content. The project turned out to be larger than we originally anticipated; we identified over 150 pages to review and update, and we had to enlist the help of every single person on our staff to get everything updated.
The project gave me a chance to work with our own web team, this time as a customer. We went through a design and development process similar to what we use for all our web site projects, and it was illuminating to see it happen from the other side, as it were. We learned a lot about how to design a content-rich site with maintainability as a primary goal. I'm happy to announce that the project finished right on schedule; we are all quite pleased with the results, and I hope you will be, too.
The information architecture and the site design should make the content much easier to find, but here are some nice features to look for:
Please let us know what you think of the site. We hope you find it useful!
